Project Restart - Hoping for 8th June

[Upton_Blade]

If you linked your phone calendar to the fixture list at the start of the season, it's all updated as well.

Looks like everything after Spurs is probably subject to change. All Sat 3pm or Wed 8pm, assume the TV rights haven't been dished out yet.

This is spot on. Only times confirmed are up to the Spurs game. All the others after are subject to change for TV and the new schedule.

Absolutely no way we play Burnley on the Saturday at 3pm. I'd hazard a guess it will be on the Sunday or Monday.

Erm no. The only games anyone will have to suffer SD for are the games on the Sky Pick channel if they aren't a Sky subscriber.

The only other games people will potentially miss are the games on BT but I'm sure there's ways round that

I was only joking. For most, Burnley V Blades won't be a huge attraction.

Fair enough mate and I agree but it will be available to almost everyone I would expect

Does anybody understand his contradictory analysis of Chelsea’s prospects?

"Chelsea are questionable because their youngsters will be refreshed and everyone thinks will get going, but sometimes the youngsters actually love the audience because they don't have any fear, so I think because of that, Chelsea are vulnerable.

Not a chance of football starting anytime soon. I’m going for August the 9th 2023 at the very earliest.

This is unfortunately the tightrope we face for the next few weeks in terms of whether scheduled games go ahead. https://www.skysports.com/football/...-after-stoke-record-positive-coronavirus-test

The lads look fit and well prepared for the restart

Be interesting to see if Stoke have any more positive tests in the next round.


Edit - just seen it was Michael O'Neill.... awkward

'Threat of clubs going bust not gone away'

The threat of clubs going bust because of the financial impact of Covid-19 has not gone away, says Football League chairman Rick Parry.

They’re obviously not going to take any chances with a friendly. I would think if a manager tests positive and the rest of the club test negative the match will surely go ahead as planned.

Exactly, they could pipe the Manager onto the big screen barking out instructions via Zoom.

The porkers should do that with Chansiri anyway, coronavirus or not. Proper 1984 style.

(Or possibly Chansiri’s son).

Why do you say that?

Sounds sensible, since everyone has been tested etc, why they can't celebrate though, it's like the no handshake thing. It's just for show, they're jumping on each other every time there's a corner or a goal mouth scramble, celebrating is no worse.

I was being facetious.

At least 6 Newcastle United players set to miss Sheffield United after sitting out friendlies

Sheffield United in 7 days time and after sitting out the friendlies, at least 6 Newcastle United players set to miss Premier League restart

if you read the article it’s actually four first-team squad members who have been missing from their friendlies so far. Gayle, Clark and the Longstaff brothers..

Still. Every little helps.

Good news regarding those 4 being missing.

I understand the Longstaffs are going out on loan to Genoa ..... then one of them back on loan to Watfud

Took me a while to understand the relevance, but then slowly realised that we're Newcastle's first game.

Couple of decent (free) recaps on the Athletic today as well, albeit with lots of links out to articles that you need a sub for - here's the general one: https://theathletic.com/1859707/202...on-villa-aston-norwich-watford-west-ham-shef/

And here's the Blades-specific one: https://theathletic.com/1858625/2020/06/15/sheffield-united-footballs-back-european-dream/

I hope I’m not alone in praying that Sinclair is not planning to take advantage of any of this. Just a horrendous change.

Can’t wait for some trance/country bangers, that dad-rock band that played funerals he played for a little while and Tom Hark 75 times
